Indirect Proofs always involve

a contradiction

Proofs always end with

a line which states the conclusion of the argument to be proved

in Natural Deduction, a proof is

a series of steps that show the premises lead, by way of valid rules of inference, to the conclusion

The RAA principle is the strategy behind

an indirect proof

The basic purpose of our system of inference rules for Natural Deduction proofs is to show that

any valid argument is valid

In the course materials, Conditional Proof was compared to the idea of

borrowing money

Proofs always begin with

one or more premises or assumptions
